Who can remember a Top Gear episode from a long time ago where Jeremy Clarkson tested something similar to look at as this one, although nothing to stop it falling over other than an arm that automatically popped out each side just before it came to a stop. Both arms had a small wheel on the end of them.
The one he road tested was driven by a woman and he was a back seat passenger (yes a two seater), I have a feeling the pilot was German, at least foreign.
Can anyone remember thatif so find any info on it
